SUPPLEMENTS
Before adding any supplements to your routine, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional or nutritionist to ensure they are right for your individual needs. Supplements are designed to fill gaps in your nutrition and help meet specific goals, but they shouldn’t replace a balanced, whole food diet.
Some common supplements include protein powder, creatine, and magnesium. Protein shakes are a convenient and effective way to help you reach your protein targets, especially if you're finding it difficult to get enough from whole foods. Creatine is popular for muscle gain as it can help increase strength and performance during workouts, but be mindful that it may cause water retention and some bloating. If your primary goal is fat loss, this can make it harder to gauge progress on the scales, as the water weight can mask the fat loss results. Magnesium, on the other hand, is great for muscle recovery and improving sleep quality, which is essential for overall health and performance. While supplements can provide benefits, remember they should only be used to complement a healthy, well-rounded diet and exercise plan.
